Off the record - Gilligan and the big questions of State.

ITV News political editor Nick Robinson made clear what he thought of Andrew Gilligan's reporting skills at last week's RTS post-Hutton, post-mortem event. He revealed how he was on the PM's plane when he was contacted by colleagues about Gilligan's original story. He said: "I said I'm not following that story, and they said: 'Why?' and I said: 'Because it's Gilligan - he is someone of whom there are interesting questions to ask.'" One of those questions might be why he uses a PDA instead of a notebook like everyone else.
